Thanks to @knowledge-seeker for this wonderful contest. For week number four the theme is Goods Made on the Homestead
On our homestead I make custom knives and other sharp art. I collect random discarded or forgotten steel and breathe new life into it. My high carbon steel blades are fully heat treated in my homemade forge. I try to use as much repurposed wood for handles as possible.
My entry here is a custom piece that ended up in Texas. It is 1/4" thick high carbon steel, moderately distressed. The handle is repurposed red oak with steel pins. If I remember right it is about 10 1/2" long. The sheath is 8-9oz. cowhide. Hand stitched and patterned. Thanks for checking it out.
